The Art World is going crazy for the latest painting sensation to come out of Scotland. Blim Burns, or Prisoner number 78345 as he is more often known was discovered by Rupert Le Beurre of Fine Artistes fame whilst giving one of his Art Therapy and Massage workshops in Barlinnie Prison. Rupert immediately spotted Blim's enormous potential and now regularly handles the artist. Blim has managed to channel his aggression and hatred of society into a more creative outlet. His work now commands hundreds of pounds on the art market - money that he is using to pay off many of his outstanding fines and child maintenance orders.
Blim is pictured here with his finished canvas entitled Sky One - a tribute to both the actual sky that he has been so long denied in his cell as well as the television channel that he spends most of his time watching in prison.
